Hey guys,
I am new to the forum, although i have been on a few times for tips and locations.
I am from Florida, and have grew up fishing with my brother, and last week I bought my first rod in 5 years.
I went to the Jetty in Marina Del Ray Saturday night from about 7pm-1am
Within the first 30 min I caught 2 Thornback Guitarfish around 4lbs ea and about 14" across. I mostly used Frozen Anchovies, since the squid I brought didn't seem to work.
Throughout the night my gf, buddy and I caught 5 guitarfish, 2 mackerel, 1 crab, and an eel I haven't yet identified ( if you know what kind, please let me know).
Planning on going fishing again tomorrow, and probably Thursday. If anyone is interested let me know.
Here are some pics

nice pretty girl.
Yellow Snake eel... nice catch! They're not that common, so pretty cool to see one pulled up.

Hey thanks for all the replies. It was a slimy eel, but then again so are are a lot of things from the ocean. Don't hagfish have a bunch of tendrils on their face? Because this one didn't. He put up a struggle the ENTIRE time i tried to take the hook out. He also pretty much strangled himself by tying himself in knots and getting the leader wrapped around his neck about 8 times.

Welcome :Thumbs Up: You must live up that way ?
Watch out for these Round Stingrays.
They have the stinger at the end of the tail between the skin flaps
and can whip it and nail you.

Haha funny you should mention that!
I just got back from Marina Del Ray, and my GF caught one of those. I had pulled up another thornback earlier, and assumed the ray was one too, until I attempted to pull the hook out, and noticed it was different. I also caught a little stone fish.
It was a pretty slow day with only 3 fish all night, but I caught 2 new species which I take as a win.

Get a DFG rules and regs book at a tackle shop or Big 5 or Big Fines!
I got nailed by a round ray the size of a med pizza. Painful, the had a 1/8" piece of the broken stinger in there for a couple months till they x-rayed it, saw it, then had to cut it out.

Yea, I hardly ever actually plan a trip. We typically just end up somewhere... But I will definitely let you know what day we will try to head out there.

Nice report. I also fish the harbor but usually during the summer time, but being a frequent fisher of this area over the past years I have some advice to give you guys. Don't fish alone nor fish the middle or last jetty from where you were fishing late at night. Over the past years I'm seen a couple of fights and people being assulted by young trouble makers. So keep safe and keep the reports comming up...

Thanks for the heads up, I don't usually fish alone, usually with 3 or more people. I did see some "kids" earlier in the night between about 7-10pm, but after that its mostly just dog walkers or joggers. I will definitely be more aware now that you mention it, and keep my eyes open for trouble.
I wanna go fishing again today, I have a fever and the only prescription.......is more fishing

It looks like you fish the playa side..vie seen a lot of success there..people usually have a live bait setup where they go and get live bait and fish for halibut kinda slow fishing ,I had great times walking out from the other jetty I would use a large split shot and cut the anchovy in thirds using the middle piece ,I would throw out and just kinda bounce and retrieve they bait ..hold on they go down right into the rocks good luck

Yes the rocks are annoying I'll admit.

Thanks Robert,
